Chapter 465

"I also think it's impossible... It must be another game developer trying to scam people for money..."

"That's not right. Look at the signature below, and there's even the logo of the Ghost Spider Club. This is an emerging leading conglomerate."

"That's right, my goddess Ghost Spider wouldn't lie to me!"

"Don't talk nonsense, what does this have to do with Ghost Spider! Maybe it's a game produced by my genius goddess, the Lady Knight. She's the president!"

"But I heard she doesn't manage anything..."

"Nonsense! Where did you hear that gossip? Get lost!"

The crowd around the giant screen was noisy; some believed it, and some didn't.

After all, virtual reality was too new for them.

Whoosh—

Above the giant screen, a white drone suddenly flew down.

It began to construct a very realistic virtual image above the crowd—

【If you're my brother! Come and slash me!】

A figure stood in the void, the standard image of a clone soldier: 【Do you want to experience a truly wonderful game environment? Do you want to experience the feeling of becoming a super-human? Then come to "Player One YL", it will let you...】

"My god! This image is so realistic, it feels like it's really standing in front of me talking!"

"Isn't this the Fearless mercenary from the Silver Sable company? So it's a game based on them! Then I must buy it!"

"Can I see the Silver Sable goddess in the game? I hope she's an NPC who gives out quests, the kind you can interact with!"

As the passersby discussed.

The clone soldier continued with the ad copy: 【... During the closed beta, virtual reality glasses and simulation pods are available for a limited time! Not 998!! Not 98!! Only 98,000 dollars!! Rent the virtual glasses to take home!!】

"Pfft—!"

The passerby who had just said he would buy the game nearly spat out a mouthful of blood!

98,000 dollars!

And that's just to rent it!

This must be a game only for the rich, right?

Using salary to create happiness, if you have no money, why play it?

Regardless of what some less affluent passersby thought, such giant screens and drones were placed all over Niu Yue.

Later, it would spread to other cities; "Player One" was temporarily limited to the Beautiful Nut for its first closed beta.

"What is that? How magical!"

Alita watched for a long while, only coming back to her senses when a traffic officer came over to clear the street.

"Are you interested in combat?... Then when the servers open, I can take you to play."

Ye Li was also satisfied with the promotional speed of this game, though the ad copy was a bit lackluster... It must have been thought up by Old Ma...

Also... the game's holographic simulation devices, he would have to find a way to lower production costs in the future.

His goal wasn't to make money, but just to let more people experience happiness...

【In this restless era, just thinking about it makes me feel great...】

As Ye Li was feeling smug, his gaze caught a snack cart being pushed nearby.

Probably seeing the crowd here,

they wanted to try their luck.

Near the snack cart, some people were buying, but not many; it was likely that the items sold were a bit niche.

Ye Li asked Alita, "Do you want to eat something? I'll take you to see."

Come to think of it,

he hadn't bought snacks on the street for a long time.

"Mm-hmm-hmm!!"

As soon as food was mentioned, Alita's eyes instinctively lit up, and she nodded incessantly!

She had taste sensors too!

【Heh... another little foodie...】

Ye Li amusedly pulled the mechanical girl toward the snack cart.

Only after getting close.

He felt a bit disappointed.

Because what was being sold on the cart was handmade chocolate, and he wasn't very interested in that...

However.

Seeing Alita still staring intently at the cart.

Ye Li said to the elderly grandmother vendor.

"How do you sell this...

Uh..."

Once the words were out.

He chuckled to himself.

It had been too long since he bought anything,

he had subconsciously used the tone from his past life...

With his current net worth,

why would he need to ask for the price when buying things...

"It's very cheap, only..."

The grandmother, wearing reading glasses, enthusiastically handed Alita a small piece of chocolate with a warm smile.

"The little girl is so cute. Here, have a taste, this piece is a gift from grandma, no charge~"

"Thank you, grandma~"

Alita happily took it and tasted a bite, her expression immediately relaxing, "Mm—! Truly delicious!!"

"What is this called?"

The mechanical girl closed her eyes, moving her soft pink tongue in her mouth, her face full of enjoyment and aftertaste~

"This is too delicious~! I declare, this is my favorite food~!!"

"Heh~"

Ye Li amusedly ruffled her hair.

"Is it that good? Your expression is as exaggerated as a little princess in a Disney animation~"

"Hehe... the little girl is innocent and lively, isn't she just a princess..."

Seeing Alita's sincere praise, the grandmother was also very happy and handed her another large piece of chocolate.

"Oh... perhaps the title 【little angel sent from heaven】 is more appropriate. Come on, little angel~ if you like it, grandma will give you another piece."

"En..."

This time, Alita didn't take it immediately, but first looked up at Ye Li.

Ye Li nodded, "Take it."

In any case, he could just instruct someone later to give this kind-hearted grandmother some reward.

"Mm!"

Alita happily took it, munching away while shaking her head~~

"Young man, take this piece as a gift..."

Because of Alita, the grandmother felt particularly happy today and handed Ye Li a piece as well.

"Thank you."

Seeing how kind the vendor was, Ye Li started chatting with her, "Grandma, you're at such an advanced age, why are you still out setting up a stall? Are you having any financial difficulties?"

If so, he wouldn't mind sponsoring a chocolate shop for her.

"Hehe, no, no..."

The grandmother waved her hands, laughing happily.

"My old man passed away a few years ago, and my children don't have much time to visit me...
